Shiffrin ties Stenmark

Skiing is fun. Sometimes I watch at Olympics time.

You got me. You may have your 'gotcha.' I admit it.

I went on a feeling on this one assuming that these people that sound real were more than likely real.

Might be time to expand your horizons hockey people...maybe start with doing some reading? I know the skiers in the crowd will agree with this, growing up in Calgary and being around numerous people that played hockey you can always count on hockey players to be myopic with somewhat limited smarts and conversation skills. Lousy jokes and grunts, kind of like the Flames head coach.

It might be time for you to start threads on a skiing message board.

No one is responsible for making you feel as though the things you enjoy are important to anyone else.

Nobody has even insulted the sport of skiing and yet here you are trying to insult hockey players to make what point exactly?

I don’t think that you’re very good at what you’re trying to do here.

Haha what?

My favourite part about skiing is that it makes hockey look like a poor mans sport.

Personally I'd put ski racers closer to the top of the entitled prick totem pole than hockey players.

Actually my wife and I talk about this often - how can we make sure our kids, who are lucky to be able to participate in an otherwise inaccessible elitist sport, turn out less entitled.

(For the record, she grew up ski racing, we're in the mountains every weekend and we've both never played organized hockey a day in our lives.)

Lol come on man, just accept you started a thread about a niche next to no one cares about here and move on. No need to get offended and start shooting barbs.

I think Shiffrin makes Stenmark look like a piece of crap. May as well shred the record books because Shiffrin’s taking every record home. People in the future will say “Stenmark who?” but because Stenmark is irrelevant not because they’ve never heard of them.

Let’s be honest skiers, gravity is doing most of the work.

[TorqueDog]

Ingemar Stenmark sounds like a company that produces printer paper.

What does reading have to do with sports?

If you could read, you'd read that there is an entire forum dedicated to sports that are not hockey.


Looks like you are the one who needs to start reading.

Took a look at the photos of the top 100 skiers.

All had one thing in common.

Makes sense why Yikes likes the sport so much.

Come to a hockey message board and blast its subject sport (which has its warts aplenty) because your pastime isn't immediately fellated? Huh?

You pick a sport that makes hockey look like an open, inclusive paradise?

At least hockey has a handful of black (and sometimes filipino) people and isn't (completely) dominated by people whose generational wealth was stolen by rounding up and systemically gassing a different religion of people who had more money.

Gravity is right. Take a hundred pairs of Volkl's and throw them into the middle of a South Carolina neighborhood with some cash and some lift passes and they will be dominating Gerd Schmueller and Horst McFartsniffer in 10 years.

Did the superstore liquor store pop thread pull you back out of CP retirement?

Now this is some better trolling than your attempts in Flames threads

Ya, watched it with my dad back in the day. In the intro, it had the ski jumper bite it huge just before launch if I remember correctly.

Clark: Yeah, but I will have a degree. And you'll be serving my kids fries at a drive-through on our way to a skiing trip.

Will: Yeah, maybe. Yeah, but at least I won't be unoriginal. By the way if you have a problem with that, I mean, we could just step outside and we could figure it out.

Clark: No, man, there's no problem. It's cool.

Will: It's cool?

Clark: Yeah.

Will: Cool.

Chuckie: ...How ya like me now?!
